which miter saw blade?

[Christopher Kanda]

What miter saw blade do you use? I am looking for a moderatly priced blade for my Bosch 10" sliding miter saw.

Certainly not cheap, but I use a Forrest Chopmaster. Baby butt smooth cuts in everything I can feed through it and it has stayed sharp for the better part of year now.

Stay tuned; you'll get a lot of opinions here.

I've got a 10" slider and have been impressed with my Oshlun for $29.95. Nice smooth cuts.

A bit costly, but it's the money well spent. For a few more bucks you can upgrade now to http://www.ridgecarbidetool.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_33&products_id=434&osCsid=ae23bcd5203b70c5ce8993157e4aad39
You can get a better deal at the show when it's held near you http://cms.thewoodworkingshows.com/cms/ (http://cms.thewoodworkingshows.com/cms/)
I also use these and other saws from them in table saw.

Ditto. In fact, that (12" 80t) was the only Forrest blade I owned that did not have a partner for use while the other was being sharpened, and I just scored a nice deal in the Classifieds seciton. So I have two of everything, except dado set.

I don't have the blade, but if I was looking I'd call this moderatly priced. It should be a pretty good blade. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=22469&filter=Rockler%20Outlet

Certainly not moderately priced, but +1 for the Forest Chopmaster Signature.

I like this one also or the even better LU85 from their Industrial line.

It is hard to beat a Chopmaster, although I prefer the Freud combo and rip blades this is a Forrest I love.

While I have the LU85 (my CMS), I don't believe it is recommended for a SCMS, as the original poster is asking about.
